The only other similar type of expulsion is blood/bleeding, which is of course a very negative thing for a child (pain, hurt). I would absolutely step back and tell her she can poop in her diaper but there will be rewards for peeing in the potty.

You kinda just have to roll with it as a parent and not add anything else to the mix or you'll be the one causing unnecessary stress for you both. It could help your daughter with the transition, especially since it makes going potty less scary and more normal.

I had huge success with a couple of my kids by suggesting that they show [favorite toy] how big kids use the potty. I managed to completely catch her first pooh, and she screamed while I was doing it, but then seemed pleased after it was done and talked about it later with what seemed like pride. Poop can be scary, and if she is used to going at her own pace, not comfortable to do in a strange place.

I work in a school, and in a kindergarten class I was working in at the beginning of the year (and yesterday when I checked back in) many of those who won't be four until January were/are not always successfully toileting themselves. My daughter (around 2) did go through a phase where the toddler potty was scary and we left it entirely alone and let her come back to play with it when she was ready. Every day we picked out a different toy that wanted to know how to use the potty, and kid - who had been resisting mightily up to that point - would happy sit down and explain, "Okay, Spiderman, watch me.

A kid who refused to poop for so long that she pooped out a monstrosity of constipation after ten days of holding out. It was the only sign she showed of needing to go - but she was miserable if she was in underwear or naked at the time. As for the Pampers conspiracy, I suppose that's possible, but the biggest proponents of child-led toileting I've known were the crunchy-granola cloth diapering set. She knows she is about to pooh, and I know it too, but when I try to put her on the potty she completely freaks out.

And in the kindy room I worked in, I was pleased to learn that one child no longer feels the need to spend ten minutes pooping completely naked at exactly the time 24 other children need to head out to recess. The 'wait until they're ready' thing is, yes, corporate propaganda - but it's also about not forcing children to meet arbitrary benchmarks - it's about listening to the child, not to the number. These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. It took quite a while for her to get past it, and it was extremely frustrating for me, but she did eventually, and never had accidents once she did. You just might want to ease up and let her set the pace and encourage her gently rather than pushing forward against her refusal.

Best answer: Oh, and fwiw, it isn't uncommon to be toilet trained for peeing and NOT trained just yet for pooping. but I believe my daughter is ready, just that I am going about it the wrong way and need to find a less stressful way of getting her to pooh without her nappy on. To me, a random person on the internet, the fact that your daughter is screaming and you are having to force her to sit on the potty, means she is not, in fact, ready to be toilet trained. I understand that peeing and poohing might happen in different time frames - thanks for pointing that out - the toilet training book I read did not seem to think this was the case.

I reminded her it would be her responsibility to make sure she got to the toilet in time and that when she had to pee / pooh she should remember she didn't have a diaper. I had to go and clean myself off and couldn't comfort her straight away, and she was left in the lounge room screaming while I was in the bathroom taking my clothes off. I think she is just freaked out by the feeling of it leaving her body, and we have to figure out how to make her okay with that, whether it's now or in 6 months time. Instead of participating in that fight, by putting her on the potty, instead encourage her to use it but be OK if she does not. Many of the four year olds aren't able to hold it for any length of time, and the idea of going before you really need to doesn't always work for them.Having to be aware of what is going on in your digestive tract, get to a potty on time, get undressed, sit, redressed, etc. If it were my child, I would back way off, leave the potty as an option only if it were her idea, go back to using diapers and try again a little further down the road. Praise her for the time she spends on the potty in any form at all, clothed, naked and peeing, just being near it. And that can start a terrible cycle of hard, painful bowel movements, which lead to more holding it, which lead to still harder and more painful bowel movements. Keeping her in place until the "output" worked for lil' trotsky, but she was more alarmed than terrified.
